Is it possible to use C++ scripts in blender or do exist some updates for it?

(Sorry for my English. I'm Slovak.)

Blender uses Python for its scripting language.

I know it, but I want to use C++. Is it really impossible?

Is it really impossible?

It's software. It's only impossible if it violates the Laws of Thermodynamics.

C++ is a compiled language, not an interpreted scripting language. You can already write C/C++ code to extend Blender. It is how new features like tracking get added.

Replacing Blender's Python interpreter with another language can be done. It is a lot of work.

You can add own code to Blender, but there is currently no plugin system, so you have to apply your changes and compile the whole application.

Write your C++ code as a Python module, and invoke it from a script within Blender.
